Template:Admin dashboard/light

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  1. Frequently, some pages transcluding {{Admin dashboard}} are going on overflow and appear at Category:Pages_where_post-expand_include_size_is_exceeded.
    This Template:Admin dashboard/light has been rewritten by including directly all the parts that were dispersed in so many sub-templates.
  2. The "leaks out boxes" error has been fixed.
  3. Pages RFPP and UNFAA are simply linked (i.e. not transcluded) when too busy

Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


Mughal Empire[edit]

Reason: Constant edit warring, particularly by user Malik-Al-Hind, but by IP users as well. The former user fails to stop reinstating edits which, on the talk page, (see Discussion 1 and Discussion 2) there have been discussions against adding such edits. I plan to start an RfC soon, and until that is over there should be full protection until any disputes have been settled, as was recently done on the Gupta Empire article when there was edit warring there. The current consensus reversion, as I recently restored to, is 1225352800. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 22:03, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Since the article is already indefinitely semi-protected, as you might expect from one so close to the center of what makes a contentious topic area contentious, I ask you for clarification on what protection options you would like. Going to extended-confirmed protection wouldn't keep MaH from editing, as they already have that user right. If edit warring is the problem, perhaps we should go to ECP and 1RR ... I don't think anybody would question that on this article. What do you think? Daniel Case (talk) 22:15, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
I said in my above comment there should be full protection, which I think is appropriate temporarily until all disputes (the inclusion of "Hindustan" in the lead and the inclusion of "Indo-Muslim" in the lead) can be settled. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 22:16, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
OK, I see you asked for full protection, but the way you want it would require doing it indefinitely, and we just don't full-protect articles indefinitely. And frankly, looking at the article history the problems go back longer than the current dispute. I'm thinking more and more that ECP/1RR, under CTOPS authority, is the best option. Daniel Case (talk) 22:18, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
That seems fine, I'll open two RfCs on the mentioned issues once that is added. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 22:21, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Actually, could you expand on why temporary full protection is not possible here? There has been constant edit warring or disputes over what to include in the lead, and while I'm not saying fully protecting the page will fix it permanently, it will give time to discuss and settle the issues, and especially with an RfC, there can be consensus over whether or not to revert such edits in the case of future edit warring over similar matters. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 23:26, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Note: Just my 2 cents: Yes, we have some kind of rather slow edit warring, but disruption of the article seems not too pronounced at the moment. Article talk is used to good effect, and discussion is ongoing. Full protection would be overkill. Lectonar (talk) 06:17, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Honestly, right now the only problematic user is the mentioned Malik-Al-Hind, who really doesn't get the point that he can't always be right. I started an RfC on one of the issues that was edit warred against, which should eventually resolve that dispute. What do you think about temporarily blocking MaH for edit warring, which would presumably resolve most of the issues? Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 06:21, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
If you want to go that way we would have: Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. With just one disrupting user, (full) protection would be like shooting sparrows with cannon. Lectonar (talk) 06:25, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
I know full protection is not appropriate when it is only one user causing problematic edits — however, this did not appear to be the case when I initially requested protection as there were recent problematic edits by multiple users, but this has only persisted by the sole user. I don't have time now to start a report on AN3 but do we really have to go through all the formalities just to recognize constant edit warring by a user? Just look at the revision history of the article. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 06:31, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

  • To find out the username of the admin who protected the page click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page" which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
  • Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
  • Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
  • If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected please use the section below.
Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Current requests for edits to a protected page[edit]

Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

  • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
  • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
  • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
  • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
  • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.


2014 Isla Vista killings[edit]

I would like to request that someone give this article a serious look through. There are numerous grammatical errors, as if someone who is not a native English speaker wrote it. Errors are primarily subject/verb agreement. 133.130.185.232 (talk) 01:29, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Autopatrolled[edit]

User:Prince of Erebor[edit]

I have created 80 articles, primarily focused on Sinophone cinema and fantasy literature, with 2 currently undergoing GAN. All of my articles have been promptly reviewed, and none of them have been deleted or marked for maintenance. I am requesting autopatrolled rights to alleviate the workload of the patrollers, especially those who actively review film articles and have reviewed the majority of my articles, allowing them to allocate more time to address articles that truly require attention. As a side note, I am a veteran editor with patroller rights on Chinese Wikipedia, having authored over 200 articles, including a dozen featured and good articles. While I fully understand that there are differences in policies and MOS across different Wikipedias, I believe this demonstrates my credibility and knowledge in assessing article quality.— Prince of EreborThe Book of Mazarbul 13:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

User:SheriffIsInTown[edit]

I frequently create articles on notable subjects, having authored 530 articles, with the majority facing no issues. Only three were deleted, mainly due to changes in election results affecting their notability. I'm requesting autopatroller rights to ease the burden on other editors reviewing my articles and help reduce the backlog of new article reviews. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 23:36, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

I understand that I did make a misunderstandment couple of weeks ago and I have revised the guidelines to prevent another instance of that happening.

 Not done per above. I noticed you started actively reverting vandalism a little over a week ago. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend more time gaining experience fighting vandalism before assigning you advanced permissions. Keep up the good work, and consider reapplying in a month. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits (I recommend using tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet which makes this extremely easy). Thanks, Fastily 21:31, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

A few concerns:
  1. A couple of days ago, you were warned about misleading edits summaries wrt this edit. Please explain, in your own words, why this edit was inappropriate.
  2. I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy?

Template editor[edit]

User:Sundostund[edit]

Hello. I am re-applying for template editor rights, which I was granted on a temporary basis by Primefac (permalink) on 24 February; it is about to expire at 00:00, on 24 May. As I promised in my original request back in February, and as can be seen, I didn't misuse this right in any way. I used it in a very responsible manner, on a periodical basis, and I'm no longer obliged to bother others with template-protected edit requests, and basically have them to do my work for me when it comes to HRTs. Naturally, I would prefer if this right is extended on a permanent basis, but that is up to admins to decide. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 13:23, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
